I wish I could really help, but I'm fairly new to puppy ownership, so all I can do is ask some common sense questions and give some common sense advice.
How old are the kids? Are they getting the dog too excited? Have they accidentally hurt the dog? Are they in its face all the time? I think there just must be some reason that the dog is acting out. I also think that kids need to know that the dog is a living, feeling creature that needs to be respected. They shouldn't be afraid of it, but at the same time, they shouldn't treat it like a toy. |
